Visaton - Sealing Gasket for FR 8 WP
Art. No. 2127
Description
This sealing gasket from Visaton is made for the watertight mounting of the FR 8 WP range of 8 cm (3.3 inch) waterproof full-range speakers. Fitted between the speaker and the mounting surface, it helps stop water working its way in along the edges of the speaker, giving you a cleaner and better protected installation in outdoor, marine and damp locations.
Key Features:
- Watertight Mounting: Helps prevent water penetrating along the edge of the speaker where it meets the baffle or mounting surface.
- Purpose-Made Fit: Designed by Visaton specifically for the FR 8 WP, so there is no need to cut or modify a generic gasket.
- Suits All FR 8 WP Versions: The same gasket fits the 4 Ohm and 8 Ohm models in both black and white.
- Slim Profile: Only 1.8 mm thick, so it adds a seal without noticeably changing the mounting depth.
- Lightweight: Weighs approximately 1 g.
Compatible Speakers:
For watertight mounting of:
- FR 8 WP 4 Ohm (black)
- FR 8 WP 4 Ohm (white)
- FR 8 WP 8 Ohm (black)
- FR 8 WP 8 Ohm (white)
Typical Uses:

Installation Notes:
- Mount the gasket on a clean, flat and smooth surface so it can seal evenly all the way around.
- Tighten the fixings evenly so the gasket is compressed uniformly. Do not over-tighten.
- The FR 8 WP is rated IP65 on the front side when it is built into a sealed enclosure. The gasket seals the mounting surface, so also make sure the rear of the speaker and the cable entry are protected from water.
Using With Other Speakers:
This gasket is designed for the FR 8 WP. Other speakers with a matching mounting footprint may be able to use it, but fit has not been confirmed for other models. The gasket seals the mounting surface only and does not make a non-waterproof speaker weatherproof. If in any doubt, please check with us.
